Planning a trip to Dagupan City, Pangasinan? Whether you’re heading home, visiting family, traveling for work, or simply spending a few days in Pangasinan, Solid North Transit has several trips connecting Metro Manila and Dagupan.

One thing that makes this route convenient is the number of terminals you can choose from. You don’t necessarily have to travel all the way to Cubao to catch a bus. Solid North also has Dagupan-bound trips from PITX, LRT Buendia, Avenida, and Trinoma.

If you’re coming back to Metro Manila, there are trips from Dagupan to Cubao, PITX, and Avenida.

Below is the latest Solid North Dagupan bus schedule for 2026, based on the schedule released by the bus company.

Travel reminder: Bus schedules may change without prior notice. If you’re traveling on a holiday, long weekend, or have an important appointment to catch, it’s best to confirm your trip with Solid North before heading to the terminal.

Solid North Dagupan Bus Schedule 2026

Here’s a quick look at the available trips:

If you’re flexible about where to board in Metro Manila, compare the terminals first. Choosing the one closest to you can save a lot of time, especially when Metro Manila traffic is heavy.

Cubao to Dagupan Bus Schedule

For travelers who want the most flexibility, Cubao is probably the easiest departure point to work with.

Cubao to Dagupan trips are available 24 hours a day.

This is particularly useful if you’re arriving in Manila late at night, traveling very early in the morning, or simply don’t want to plan your entire day around one specific departure.

Keep in mind, though, that “24 hours” doesn’t necessarily mean a bus leaves every few minutes. There may still be waiting periods between departures.

If you need to arrive in Dagupan by a particular time, check the actual departure time at the terminal or contact Solid North before traveling.

Cubao is also a practical choice if you’re coming from Quezon City or connecting from another provincial bus route.

LRT Buendia to Dagupan Bus Schedule

Don’t want to travel all the way to Cubao?

Passengers coming from Manila, Makati, Pasay, and nearby areas can consider the LRT Buendia to Dagupan trips.

There are five listed trips throughout the day.

The 8:00 AM trip is a good option if you prefer traveling during daylight, while the 7:00 PM departure can work better if you’re coming from work or have other things to finish during the day.

Since there aren’t as many listed departures here as in Cubao, give yourself enough time to reach the terminal.

Missing a scheduled trip could mean waiting several hours for the next one.

Avenida to Dagupan Bus Schedule

Another option for passengers coming from Manila is the Avenida to Dagupan route.

Solid North lists trips from 2:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

The announcement doesn’t show every individual departure during this period, so don’t assume buses automatically leave every hour.

If Avenida is the most convenient terminal for you, check the day’s departure schedule before leaving home.

Trinoma to Dagupan Bus Schedule

Solid North also has trips from Trinoma to Dagupan, giving travelers in Quezon City another option aside from Cubao.

6:00 AM to 6:00 PM – 3-hour interval

This can be convenient if you prefer traveling during the daytime.

Because the service ends earlier than some of the other Metro Manila routes, passengers planning an evening trip may want to consider Cubao or PITX instead.

PITX to Dagupan Bus Schedule

For travelers coming from Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Cavite, and other areas south of Metro Manila, PITX may be the more convenient place to start the trip.

Solid North lists several PITX to Dagupan departures:

That’s a good spread of departure times throughout the day.

The earliest listed trip leaves at 3:00 AM, while the last listed trip departs at 8:00 PM.

If you’re coming from Cavite or southern Metro Manila, PITX may save you from having to cross the city just to board in Cubao.

Dagupan to Metro Manila Bus Schedule

Heading back to Manila?

Solid North also operates return trips from Dagupan to several Metro Manila terminals.

Dagupan to PITX

• 1:00 AM to 7:00 PM

There’s also an 11:30 PM midnight trip.

This late-night option can be useful if you want to spend most of the day in Pangasinan before returning to Metro Manila.

Since the individual departure times between 1:00 AM and 7:00 PM aren’t shown in the announcement, confirm the trip you want before going to the terminal.

Dagupan to Cubao

For Cubao-bound passengers, trips are listed from 1:40 AM to 9:00 PM

Cubao is a convenient arrival point if you’re continuing to Quezon City or connecting to another provincial bus.

Dagupan to Avenida

The Dagupan to Avenida schedule runs from 1:20 AM to 7:20 PM

Avenida may be the better choice if your final destination is closer to Manila than Quezon City or Parañaque.

Which Terminal Should You Use?

There isn’t one terminal that’s automatically best for everyone.

If you’re staying near Quezon City, Cubao or Trinoma will usually make the most sense. Cubao also gives you more flexibility because Solid North lists the route as operating around the clock.

If you’re coming from the southern side of Metro Manila or Cavite, check PITX first. There are several departures throughout the day, so you may be able to avoid traveling across Metro Manila to reach another terminal.

For passengers closer to Manila or Makati, Avenida or LRT Buendia may be more convenient.

Don’t look at the bus departure time alone. Also consider how long it will take you to reach the terminal.

A 10:00 AM bus from a nearby terminal can sometimes be a much better choice than an 8:00 AM departure that requires a long trip across Metro Manila.

What Route Does the Bus Take to Dagupan?

The route map shared by Solid North shows the journey heading north through several areas before reaching Dagupan.

Among the locations shown are

Dau → Tarlac City → Gerona → Paniqui → Moncada → Legaspi/San Manuel → Carmen → Urdaneta → Villasis → Santa Barbara → Calasiao → Dagupan City

This gives you a general idea of the corridor the bus follows on its way to Pangasinan.

However, the places shown on the route map shouldn’t automatically be treated as official pick-up or drop-off points for every bus.

If you’re planning to get off somewhere before Dagupan, ask Solid North whether your particular trip stops there.

How Long Is the Trip from Manila to Dagupan?

The schedule graphic doesn’t provide an official travel duration.

Actual travel time can also vary considerably depending on where you board, traffic conditions in Metro Manila, road conditions, stopovers, and the time of day.

It’s a good idea to leave some allowance in your itinerary, particularly if you have a hotel check-in, meeting, appointment, or another bus connection waiting in Dagupan.

Avoid planning another important activity immediately after your expected arrival.

Solid North Bus Fare to Dagupan

The schedule used for this update doesn’t include the current passenger fares for the Dagupan routes.

Rather than giving you an estimated price that may already be outdated, it’s better to confirm the current fare directly with Solid North.

Your fare may depend on your boarding point and passenger classification.

If you’re a student, senior citizen, or PWD, bring the appropriate valid identification or documents if you intend to claim an applicable discount.

Traveling to Dagupan for the First Time?

Dagupan is one of the major cities in Pangasinan and is an important transportation and commercial center in the province.

For first-time travelers, the main thing to remember is that there are several ways to get there from Metro Manila.

You don’t have to automatically go to Cubao.

Before leaving home, check which of these departure points is easiest for you:

Cubao – PITX – Avenida – LRT Buendia – Trinoma

From there, compare the available departure times.

This simple step can make the beginning of your trip much easier.

Tips Before Your Solid North Trip

Bus travel is fairly straightforward, but a little preparation helps.

Try to arrive early rather than reaching the terminal right at departure time. You’ll still need time to find the correct boarding area, sort out your ticket, handle your luggage, and board.

This becomes even more important on Fridays, weekends, long weekends, holidays, Christmas, Holy Week, and other peak travel periods when more people are heading to the provinces.

Keep your valuables with you rather than placing them in checked or stored luggage.

If you’re traveling with children, elderly passengers, or several bags, arriving early will also make boarding less stressful.

And if your schedule is tight, confirm the trip before leaving home.
